When Wei Xuan saw Liu Yi, his expression was a little haggard.

Liu Yi remembered that Jiang Wan had specially brought Wei Xuan to visit him, he was a vigorous and high-spirited young man at the beginning, but goodbye at this moment, the young man in his twenties seemed to have grown ten years old, and the feeling of being a fledgling and sharp in the past seemed to have been smoothed out during this time.

"Sikong, the lower official wants to resign." Wei Xuan saluted Liu Yi and sighed.

"Because of those people behind it?" When Liu Yi heard this, he pinched his eyebrows, and he could probably think of the pressure that Wei Xuan had been under during this time, and the people behind this probably didn't know what Wei Xuan could deal with as a powerless county order.

"The lower officials don't understand, but they can't do it." Wei Xuan shook his head, there are some words that cannot be said explicitly, it turns out that this Zhiyang and even the entire Xiliang are now the center of the storm, and the background is not hard enough to come in, and they can't bear it at all.

"If you can't do it, then learn slowly, people's abilities can be made up for through hard work." Liu Yi shook his head, Zhiyang is a fast place, he specially asked Jiang Wan to find such a person with no background and a relatively upright personality to sit in the town, there are iron mines, coal mines, and at present, it doesn't matter whether the reserves are rich or not, but the mining is not difficult, it is basically open-air, and the short-term benefits are great.

At present, Liu Yi is preparing for large-scale steelmaking, laying at least one rail from Xiliang to Chang'an, and building a steam train within ten years to transport materials in large quantities, iron ore is now urgently needed, just wait to find something that can replace rubber Liu Yi is ready to try to make the first steam train, and he really needs someone like Wei Xuan who has the ability and bottom line to help him check here.

Maybe it's not a talent from the world, but in fact, a country doesn't just need any talent from the world, and when it comes to the local level, more grassroots people like Wei Xuan who have integrity and bottom line are sometimes more important than the talents of the world.

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly: "Why should Sikong be embarrassed. ”

The gods fought, and he, a low-level minion, became cannon fodder, and now he can't let him out if he wants to, isn't this forcing him to die?

"It's not that I'm making things difficult for you." Liu Yi leaned on the back of the chair and said: "Some things, after all, someone has to do it, you can't tie me here, you just take care of this Zhiyang matter, you don't have to take care of the rest, I have to deal with it, this Zhiyang matter is very related, Xianbei and the Xiongnu's planning, the future development of Xiliang and Guanzhong, there can be no problems here, I don't worry about other people, I know what you are worried about, peace of mind is doing it here, three years later, I recommend you to Jincheng Taishou." ”

It is already obvious that Wei Xuan was born in a poor family, because the academy had a bright future, and he was recommended to come over as a county commander, but in the competition of this faction, he was used as cannon fodder without any background, and now Liu Yi said this, undoubtedly treating him as his own person, if he agreed, I am afraid that he will be counted as a person in Liu Yi's line in the future.

The original intention of this Wei Xuan is undoubtedly contradictory, but when you enter the officialdom, sometimes it is like this, you must choose to stand in line, but this time, it is the competition between the reformists represented by Liu Yi and the Youshi clan, and he is in the center of the two firefights, and it is not easy to withdraw at the moment, so he can only choose to join on the side.

Jincheng Taishou, it can be regarded as an olive branch thrown by Liu Yi, as for receiving or not accepting, there are pros and cons, Liu Yi will not embarrass himself because he refuses, but for himself, this is also an opportunity.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Wei Xuan didn't think about it for too long, after all, in terms of concept, he was more inclined to Liu Yi's side, and if Liu Yi could help him solve his worries, then he could follow Zhiyang to display his ambitions.

"Clever!" Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, he didn't want to deal with these messy things, but people in the rivers and lakes, they couldn't help themselves, and if they wanted to do more things, they had to deal with those who dragged their feet first, this kind of thing was very disgusting, but when a force grows to a certain extent, internal friction is sometimes unavoidable.

"Now tell me, what's going on?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Xuan and said, he believed that Wei Xuan, as the Zhiyang Order, must know something about this miners' riot.

"Some people instigated, on the one hand, among the miners, that the Han Dynasty did not treat them as people, and on the other hand, it was rumored among the Han people that in order to naturalize the Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and treat Xianbei and the Xiongnu well, how generous the salary of the mine was, and it would arrive at ordinary people for a year in January." Wei Xuan smiled bitterly.

Rumors are not difficult to distinguish, but for most people, they are more willing to believe rumors, as for why...... One reason is that other people's are definitely better than their own, and the other is that they still don't really regard the two sides as their own race after all.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts!

At this time, it is too simple to use this to stir up a relationship.

"Who is the one behind the instigation and rumor-mongering?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Xuan and asked.

"It's a lot, it's a lot of miscellaneous, but there aren't many people who can really do it." Wei Xuan bowed.

"Now what are you going to do?" Liu Yi asked rhetorically.

"Migrant workers are openly recruited from various mines, and those who are willing to go to the mine to mine can dig by themselves, and at the same time, let the miners come out at intervals, and now the reason why these miners are making trouble is that they don't understand the meaning of money, so let them live in the city for a period of time, and understand the meaning of money." Wei Xuan said with a smile, it is not difficult to solve this matter, especially now that Liu Yi is here, he can quickly calm down the emotions of these miners, and most importantly, solve the source of those rumors who have been mixed in.

"Yes, quite an idea." Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "As for the matter of the miners' riot, leave it to me to deal with, these days, those who are in the lead, can there be a record?" ”

"Yes." Wei Xuan nodded, he had also thought about dealing with it before, and did an investigation, but he was called to stop, so that until now, it is gradually out of control.

"Do what you think, I'll take care of the rest." Liu Yi nodded and said: "In addition, settle down these naturalized people as soon as possible, strictly check the weapons, and later I will transfer another 1,000 people to be stationed here, and my own generals are responsible, if you need military assistance, you can negotiate with him." ”

Liu Yi's power and connections are basically concentrated in the army, as for the officialdom, those who enter the officialdom after studying in the academy cannot all be counted as Liu Yi's people, and most of these people are now at the bottom, and it takes time to gradually discover and cultivate, just like Wei Xuan, if there is no incident this time, Liu Yi will not have too much intersection with Wei Xuan.

A number of specific matters were finalized for the development of Zhiyang, including Liu Yi's plan to use the rich minerals of the area as the core to develop the economy and turn the area into an industrial zone.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi received a letter from Lian County, the angel arrived, Liu Yi naturally couldn't slack off, not to mention that his wife and children had also arrived.

At the moment, after letting people go back and inform themselves that they would leave tomorrow at the latest, they quickly took people to start pacifying and picketing the miners, and singled out the miners who had been stuffed in recently, as for the interrogation, Liu Yi did not do it, but ordered these people to be sent to the imperial court after being captured, there are too many things involved behind this matter, and Liu Yi does not have the energy to fight wits and courage with those people for the time being, and these things are handed over to Zhuge Liang to do.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi took Ma Dai and the accompanying guards on the road, and arrived in Lian County early the next morning.

"Erect a monument and build a temple?" Liu Yi looked at the edict, thought about it and understood a little, it is indeed not good for him to be an official now, and the Son of Heaven wants to use this way as a reward.

In addition, Pang De was named the general of the Huns and guarded the Hetao, Ma Dai was the general of Dangkou, Deng Ai was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei, and Mi Wei also won the post of cavalry captain.

The participants in the Battle of the Hetao received good rewards, and they were all happy.

"Your Majesty, do you have a return date?" Liu Yi looked at the envoy sent by Liu Chan and asked.

"I didn't say that." The messenger smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an explanation, after this matter is over, Sikong can take his wife back to the court." ”

"I'm tired." Liu Yi nodded, this is not bad, there is no need to go back again, as for Jiuyuan, even if there is no edict, Liu Yi is ready to take the time to take a look, the track in Xiliang has not been laid, and the land of this Hetao also needs to be laid, and the laying of this network, if you want to complete it as soon as possible, you need to hire a lot of people.

He also asked people to collect some special products and dragged them back to help them bring them back, some of them were given to Liu Chan and the Queen Mother, and some of them were given to Zhuge Liang and other friends in Chang'an.

After staying with each other for a night, he sent the other party away early the next morning.

It is not a trivial matter to build a temple for his father-in-law, Lu Bu's statue attribute was very violent at the beginning, and this time he built a temple for his father-in-law, and I don't know what kind of effect it will have.

"When is the husband going to leave?" After everyone dispersed, Lu Lingqi looked at Liu Yi and smiled.

"Not recently, I have to naturalize the things here, and my father-in-law's temple has to be well designed, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and there are still a lot of Hu people on the Jiuyuan side, so it's not appropriate to take risks." After this assassination, Liu Yi paid more attention to his personal safety, although he accepted the Xiongnu and exterminated Tuoba Xianbei, but after all, this Hetao land is a place where the Huns and Xianbei people have lived for hundreds of years, and there are still more or less people who have not accepted naturalization.

"Let's wait for the year to pass, the matter of spring ploughing will be arranged, and we will leave, Ming'er will come just in time, and you will help your father take care of some naturalization and money and grain calculations." Liu Yi handed over a few volumes of files to Liu Ming and said with a smile.

My daughter is smart, she is fast in mental arithmetic, and she has her own ideas, now that she is here, let her daughter help her.

"Father~" Liu Ming looked at Liu Yi with some dissatisfaction, since he went to school, as long as his father is by his side, there is always no good thing, and he can be pulled to do coolies if he is not careful, or he can't complain if he doesn't pay his salary.

"Young people, more experience." Liu Yi patted his daughter on the shoulder, and after a word of encouragement, he hugged his wife back to the house to rest, leaving Liu Ming alone in the wind.
